1. It’s custom-tailored to you

Your typical all-inclusive vacation resort will have a schedule of events and activities. They will also have breakfast, lunch and dinner times, with the occasional snack bar open all night. You have to abide by the resort’s schedule on your resort vacation. But on a yacht charter vacation, you’re in charge of the schedule. Breakfast, lunch and dinner times are decided by you, and where you want to go and what you want to do is decided by you. A floating vacation is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

2. You get to travel more

All-inclusive means that in order to get your money’s worth, you should stay on the resort for the most part of your vacation. If you do want to leave the resort to explore on your own, this requires pre-planning and possibly some shady transportation methods. This places an abundance of limits on what you can do and see while you’re there. When you’re on a yacht, you have the freedom to explore many different destinations. Sail to different islands, cities, and even countries in a short span of time (in a safe, reliable way).

3. It means real R&R

Sometimes you just want to relax. All you want is to hear the sound of the waves and feel the sun on your face. You hear enough noise at home or work (or wherever else you’re escaping when you go on vacation). All-inclusive resorts can be crowded and full of hustle and bustle; waiting in the omelette line at breakfast, no chaise-lounges by the beach, loud crowds by the pool, dress codes at the a la carte restaurants. On a yacht charter vacation, you don’t have to worry about any of those things. It’s your private haven away from the crowds, rules, and the hustle and bustle of life. All you hear is the sound of the waves hitting the side of the boat. Of course, you may want to throw on some music and have a dance party instead – and that’s totally up to you!

4. The sea or ocean is always at your doorstep

No need to worry about waking up early and reserving your chaise-lounge on a floating vacation – the entire yacht is your chaise-lounge. You’ll always be right beside the water – feel free to jump in whenever you’d like, be it early morning, sunny afternoon, or late at night if you’re adventurous (or have had a couple drinks).

5. You get your own private staff

If you wish to do so, you can have a crewed yacht charter with a skipper, chef and another assistant.This means you never have to worry about steering, cooking, cleaning or anything else really! You have experienced and reliable staff members on hand to help you have the best vacation possible.

6. More Bang for your Buck!

When you have a group of friends or family that you would like to have join you on your yacht, the cost of the vacation per person can drop dramatically and actually be more affordable than an all inclusive resort. If you would like to go to a destination that normally does not have all-inclusive resorts, like the Caribbean islands or the Mediterranean, then you have quite a few costs to worry about. Flight costs,transportation costs, meal expenses, other unexpected fees, and of course the cost of the actual hotel.In these cases, booking a yacht charter is not only more relaxing but it offers more freedom and more value for your money. Now, who doesn’t want that?!
